Pecs Janus Pannonius Museum, Hungary - Museum

Museum

The various departments of the Janus Pannonius Municipal Museum are dispersed amongst a number of buildings in the town center. The Archaeological Department is housed in an 18th C plait style edifice behind the earlier mosque; it documents in an imposing manner the long history of human settlement in the Baranya region. Among the exceptional exhibits are the relics of an Early Stone Age settlement (c 60,000 bc), remnants of a Late Stone Age culture found on Mount Mákar, together with Celtic and Bronze Age finds from Mount Jakab. The Folk Art and Natural History Departments will be found at Rákóczi utca correspondingly.
